Chapter 306: Engagement

“Chenchen, who is it?”

Qu Fan had already begun urging her in the room. Actually, he knew who it was, and so did Young Master Lei.

Young Master Lei also smiled. His expression did not change at all, as if he did not care who it was.

“Come in.”

Qu Chen’s expression was a little unnatural, but she finally heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she really did not know how to face such a scene. Was she really going to fight with her parents?

That was not the outcome Qu Chen wanted to see either.

Lin Feng walked in. He came alone. Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Lin wanted to come over, but Lin Feng stopped them. He did not mind the scene today, but it did not mean that his parents would not. This would avoid things being awkward when they met again.

Seeing Qu Chen bring Lin Feng in, Qu Fan sized Lin Feng up a little. He found him a little familiar, but he did not think much of it. He just felt that Lin Feng’s demeanor was decent, and his looks were quite compatible with his sister.

Unfortunately, his family background was still slightly inferior to Young Master Lei’s. Moreover, he was not as outstanding as Young Master Lei himself.

“Sister, aren’t you going to introduce us?” Qu Fan said indifferently, without much hospitality towards Lin Feng.

Swoosh.

Young Master Lei had always been very calm and graceful, and almost had the air of someone who would remain calm even if a mountain collapsed before him. But now, Young Master Lei suddenly stood up, his eyes wide in disbelief.

His voice trembled as he said, “Sage… Sage Lin Feng?”

“You must be Lei Sheng, right? A genius from the Sanctuary Academy who just broke the genetic lock. Not bad.”

Lin Feng was like an elder giving guidance to a junior, but Young Master Lei almost felt like crying.

What was this?

Qu Chen’s boyfriend was Sage Lin Feng? What was he actually doing, confidently competing for a woman with a Sage?

At this thought, Young Master Lei opened his mouth, but could not say anything.

It’s a Sage, an actual Sage. He had just fought with a Sage for a woman. If news of this got out, he would have a hard time doing anything in the Sanctuary Academy. If Lin Feng’s temper was slightly worse, no one would say anything even if Lin Feng killed him directly.

Seeing Young Master Lei’s dejected look, Qu Fan was also stunned.

“Lin Feng, Sage?”

Qu Fan heard Young Master Lei’s words clearly. Looking at Young Master Lei’s dejected expression, he suddenly recalled the explosive news recently. It was about the deeds of the tenth Sage of humanity, Lin Feng.

He was just a minor businessman and did not pay much attention to it in the first place. He only remembered that the tenth Sage seemed to be from Central Sea, and was relatively young. He did not pay much attention to the rest.

Now that he thought about it, could the young man from Central Sea be the one in front of him? Was he his sister’s boyfriend, or even the son-in-law of the Qu family in the future?

For a moment, Qu Fan was dumbfounded. Regret, excitement, and fear churned in his mind.

What had he done? He had said so confidently that Lin Feng had no achievements and was not as outstanding as Young Master Lei. It’s really put him into a tough spot!

At this thought, he looked at his sister, Qu Chen, who had a blissful and shy expression. He regretted it from the bottom of his heart. Couldn’t his sister have reminded him in advance? What was the meaning of this? Setting her big brother up?

Of course, Qu Fan did not dare to blame his sister. He was the one who caused this matter. He had to explain it even if he must bite the bullet.

“Sage… Sage Lin Feng, we… we…”

Qu Fan was eloquent in the business world and had a silver tongue. How else could he have gotten acquainted with Young Master Lei? But now, he felt that he could not get a single sentence out.

Young Master Lei hurriedly said, “Sage Lin Feng, I… I’ll take my leave first!”

At this point, Lei Sheng was simply asking for humiliation by staying here. Just as he was about to leave in a hurry, Lin Feng’s voice came from behind. “Just now, you said that you want to join the League of Guardians? That’s good. If you are still interested in joining the League of Guardians, I’ll approve it. Report to the League of Guardians’ Headquarters at your convenience!”

“Yes, thank you, Lord Sage!”

Lei Sheng’s entire body shook, but he was immediately overjoyed. He had originally planned to join the League of Guardians. Now that Sage Lin Feng had personally agreed, it’ll definitely be approved.

However, he never expected that he would meet Sage Lin Feng, whom he had always viewed as his idol and goal, in such an awkward manner.

After Lei Sheng left, the Qu family also caught on to the situation. Mr. and Mrs. Qu were both a little dumbfounded.

Of course they knew what the status of Sages was. There was no one among humanity who did not know. In the past, the Nine Sages were the topmost authority, even more exalted than the leader of a country.

If one had to make an analogy, the Nine Sages would be the highest leaders in the world, whereas Lin Feng was the tenth Sage!

In their eyes, Lei Sheng was already out of their league, let alone a Sage.

They were also a little embarrassed by what had happened previously, but Sage Lin Feng clearly did not blame them, so they slowly relaxed. As for the matter between Lin Feng and Qu Chen, they naturally agreed completely.

Things proceeded logically after. The two parties agreed on the date of the engagement. According to Lin Feng, the engagement only had to be witnessed by the families of both parties. There was no need to make it too grand. They would only hold a grand wedding when they got married.

Considering Lin Feng’s identity, the Qu family agreed.

Hence, Lin Feng returned to Central Sea. The next day, the Qu family personally came to visit and let Lin Feng and Qu Chen hold the engagement ceremony, witnessed by their families.

They agreed to hold the wedding in a year. Naturally, both parties were happy.

After the engagement, Lin Feng was not in a hurry to return to the League of Guardians. Instead, he took the time to accompany his fiancée and family. Otherwise, when he returned to the League of Guardians and got busy, it might be very difficult for him to spend much time with his family.

…

In the desolate Outland, an oval-shaped region filled with strange rocks radiated outwards for hundreds of kilometers.

This was one of the Four Forbidden Places in the Outland, the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead!

A huge rock towered over the ground, looking like a huge dragon’s head, mysterious and ancient.

Rumble.

Suddenly, the entire ground seemed to be shaking. The huge rock that looked like a dragon’s head was shaking violently, as if it was about to “come alive”.

“It’s happening again!”

From afar, a figure suddenly flew over and looked down at the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. It was one of the Ten Sages of humanity, the Invincible Fist Sage, Dean of the Myriad Academy!

The Invincible Fist Sage’s gaze was solemn. He guarded the Outland for the main purpose of keeping an eye on the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. However, the tremors of the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead had become more and more intense recently, giving him an ominous feeling.

“There are two demon emperors in the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead. I can only deal with one at most. I can’t let them charge out, or the consequences will be unthinkable! However, the Forbidden Places guarded by Sage Kang, Sage Yuanyi, and the others all seem to be showing signs of instability. No one can spare the time to help me…”

The Invincible Fist Sage frowned. If there were two Sages, he could even try to enter the Eighteen Grottoes of Dragonhead to investigate.

“That’s right, how could I have forgotten about him…”

Suddenly, the Invincible Fist Sage’s brows relaxed. He seemed to have thought of something and looked enlightened.
